Remote for Android TV & Cast

ATV Remote turns your phone into a fast, clean remote control for compatible Android TV, Google TV, Android TV Box and Chromecast with Google TV devices.

Use it when the physical remote is lost, out of reach, low on batteries, or too slow for typing. Connect your phone and TV to the same Wi-Fi network, find your device, pair with the code shown on the TV, and start controlling from your phone.

Remote control for Android TV and Google TV

ATV Remote helps you browse streaming apps, search for movies and shows, control playback, adjust volume, launch favorite apps and send media to your TV without hunting for the original remote.

The Wi-Fi remote uses Android TV and Google TV remote protocols. Your phone and TV must be on the same local network. Some routers, guest Wi-Fi networks, VPNs, mobile hotspots or device isolation settings may block discovery or connection. Bluetooth control depends on Android TV pairing support and may require confirmation on both phone and TV during first setup.

Chromecast features let you send selected photos, videos and local media to a compatible TV over the local network. Screen casting opens the Android system casting screen and depends on your phone, TV and network.

Compatibility note: ATV Remote is made for Android TV, Google TV and Android TV Box devices. Most Samsung TVs use Tizen and most LG Smart TVs use webOS, so they usually do not accept Android TV remote commands directly. If your Samsung or LG TV has a connected Android TV Box, Google TV streamer or Chromecast with Google TV, add that Android TV / Google TV device instead.

Control your Android TV from your phone with a remote that is simple, responsive and ready for daily use.
